Cisco 2800 does not Detect Card hwic-2fe

I just added card hwic-2fe on my 2800 Cisco router, all led of card are, although in configure i cannot see the card,
Once I found the solution which says to update the IOS, I have done it but still it does not work

Hmm for some reason it does not appear in the hardware list. Can you please post the output of the "show diag" command.

In that command you should see, e.g. in "WIC Slot X" the "2 Port FE HWIC" and next to it the WIC module status must be shown. If it states that it's not supported or disabled then I assume that it still has to do with IOS.
Even though in 12.4-20.T supports HWIC 2FE interfaces, maybe upgrading to 12.4-24.T5 could solve your problems (as I've seen in Cisco forums in the past).

Send us the output of the "show diag" & try upgrading the IOS and tell us how it goes!

Kind regards,

Konstantinos Koutalis

Shah,
Have you checked your running config yet? It could be (most likely)
that the card hasn't been no-shut so it is still offline. Please
give a copy of the running-config file so someone can see
what's going on.

Please take a look at the info below from the Cisco site. I'm not sure you
have the proper setup since I am sure that the added card has not been enabled.

Port Configuration
Use this menu to display the status of a port or module, enter a port description, change the port's status, and define various Spanning-Tree Protocol parameters.
Display this menu by typing P on the Main Menu. The following prompt is displayed:
Identify port: 1 to 25,[A1],[B1]

Select [1 - 25, A1, B1]:

The menu displayed will vary depending on whether it is a 10Base-T port or an expansion slot with a 100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, or FDDI module installed.
Figure 5-14 Port Configuration Menu for Expansion Slots

The following terms are used to describe the status of the port:
802.1d Spanning-Tree Protocol state The current Spanning-Tree Protocol state. This could be:
BlockingPort is not participating in the frame forwarding process and is not learning new addresses.
ListeningThe same as Blocking but the Catalyst 2800 is actively trying to bring the port into the forwarding state. The port is not learning addresses.
LearningPort is not forwarding frames but is learning addresses. The Catalyst 2800 is actively trying to bring the port into the forwarding state.
ForwardingPort is forwarding frames and learning addresses.
DisabledPort has been removed from operation. Administrative intervention is required to enable the port.
Forward Transitions The number of times the Spanning-Tree Protocol state for this port has changed from listening or learning to forwarding.

[D] Description/name of port. Use this option to assign a name to the port. This could be Engineering Segment or any 60-character string. Type the port name at the prompt and press Return.
[T] Type of connector (port 25 only). Select this option to define the connector type for port 25. Type one of the following values and press Return:
S Self-sense: The Catalyst 2800 determines which connector to use
R RJ-45 connector
A AUI connector
[S] Status of port. Use this option to enable a disabled port or disable a port in an operational state. If the port is an expansion slot with a multiport repeater, you can use this option to enable or disable one repeater port while leaving the others unaffected. To enable or disable all ports of a module, use the module status parameter. The operational states a port can have are listed under the next menu option, Module status. Type E or D at the prompt and press Return.
[M] Module status. Use this option to enable a module that has been disabled, or disable a module that is currently in an enabled operational state. If the module is a multiport repeater, this parameter affects all the repeater ports. Attempts to enable a module which is disabled due to a hardware failure will not succeed, and the module will automatically return to a disabled state. Type E or D at the prompt and press Return.
The status indication shown on this panel will be one of the following:
EnabledNormal operation. Port can transmit and receive.
Disabled-mgmtDisabled by explicit management action
Suspended-linkbeatSuspended due to the absence of a linkbeat. This is usually due to the attached station being disconnected or powered-down.
Suspended-jabberSuspended because attached station is jabbering
Suspended-violationSuspended due to address violation
Suspended-ring-downPort is not connected to a ring or the ring is in the process of configuring (FDDI only)
Suspended-Spanning-Tree Protocol Spanning-Tree Protocol not forwarding
Suspended-not-presentThere is no module in the expansion slot
Suspended-not-recognizedThere is an unrecognized module inserted in the expansion slot
Disabled-self-testDisabled because port failed self-test
Disabled-violationDisabled due to address violation
ResetThe port is currently in the reset state

[F] Full duplex. Select this option to enable or disable full-duplex transmission on 100-Mbps ports. Full duplex is simultaneous transmission in both directions yielding an aggregate bandwidth of 200 Mbps. As both ends must be configured for full duplex, the port cannot be connected to a repeater. A likely scenario would be to connect a 1-port 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX module to a server with a 100Base-TX adapter 2 configured for full-duplex. You could also connect it to another Catalyst 2800 or other 100Base-T switch or router configured for full-duplex operation. Type an E or a D at the prompt and press Return.

Note Full-duplex operation can only be enabled for a one-port 100Base-TX or 100Base-FX module.

[I] Port priority. Use this option to define which port is to remain enabled by Scanning-Tree Protocol if two ports form a loop. Type a number from 0 to 255 and press Return at the prompt.
[C] Path cost. Use this option to define the Scanning-Tree Protocol path cost of the port. It is inversely proportional to the LAN speed of the network interface at the port. A high path cost means the port has low bandwidth and should not be used if possible.The default is 1000/LAN-speed-in-Mbps. The path cost of 100-Mbps ports is thus 10, and 10-Mbps ports is 100. Enter a value at the prompt and press Return. This option also affects which port is to remain enabled by Spanning-Tree Protocol if two Catalyst 2800 connections form a loop.
[A] Port addressing. Select this option to display the Port Addressing Menu.
[V] View port statistics. Select this option to display the Detailed Port Statistics Menu.
[N] Next port [P] Previous port. Use these options to scroll back and forth between ports, displaying each port's characteristics.
[G] Goto port. Select this option to display the prompt. Type one of the values and press Return.
FDDI Port Configuration
The following options are available for FDDI modules and are in addition to the other port configuration menu options discussed in the "Port Configuration" section in this chapter.
Display this panel by typing P on the Main Menu and the letter of an expansion slot containing a Catalyst 2800 FDDI module.
Ring Status. This field indicates whether the module is successfully attached to the ring or not. The two possible values are operational and non-operational.
[L] Novell SNAP frame translation. Use this option to define how you want to translate Novell SNAP FDDI frames. For more information about the translation options, refer to the Catalyst 2800 Modules User Guide. Type the number associated with your choice at the prompt and press Return.

Hmm for some reason it does not appear in the hardware list. Can you please post the output of the "show diag" command.

In that command you should see, e.g. in "WIC Slot X" the "2 Port FE HWIC" and next to it the WIC module status must be shown. If it states that it's not supported or disabled then I assume that it still has to do with IOS.
Even though in 12.4-20.T supports HWIC 2FE interfaces, maybe upgrading to 12.4-24.T5 could solve your problems (as I've seen in Cisco forums in the past).

Send us the output of the "show diag" & try upgrading the IOS and tell us how it goes!

I had this same problem. It's an IOS problem. Try to find a similar ios to this c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-11.XJ3.bin If I remember the problem correctly the XJ version had the HWIC card in it then they brought the development lines back together some time after 12.4-11, but I remember some of the IOS lines couldn't be brought back in line, so it might be as simple as ditching the T version of the one you have for a GD release.
